  1. They got a clear warning on a previous dive when some of the sensors started giving different readings than previously at the same depth and the difference became a consistent artifact. Something gave and changed the shape of the hull. That was enough to scrap it right there, but they just learned to accept numbers in the new range.

  2. I don't think the cylinder needed to actually fail. Bending inward in the center would put a lot of strain on the end joints, pulling the carbon fiber off the titanium. If it failed there, the inward shock wave of water would shiver the carbon fiber into shards. The design failed because of the wrong materials, and that caused the final failure of the materials.
